From $600 per vehicle: private one-way ride, Fort Lauderdale to DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando at the Entrance to Universal Hotel.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The driver comes to your hotel, home or address in Fort Lauderdale at the agreed time, loads the bags and heads north with only your party on board. There is no counter, no shared van and no waiting for other passengers: the vehicle is yours from the door to the resort entrance. A courtesy wait of 15 minutes is included at the pickup.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando at the Entrance to Universal Hotel sits right at the doorway of one of Florida’s busiest theme-park districts. This is a full-service hotel built around park visitors, with rooms sized for families and easy footing on the tourist corridor that surrounds it. Its name comes straight from where it stands, at the entrance to the Universal area, so the parks, the dining-and-entertainment district, and the wider strip all stay close at hand.
The area around the hotel is thick with things to do. Rides, resorts, water parks, character-driven attractions, themed restaurants, and shopping fill the blocks nearby, which is why so numerous groups make this address their base for an Orlando trip. Arriving with bags and tired kids, a door-to-door drop means you walk in, check in, and start the fun with nothing further to arrange.
One small thing is worth knowing before you travel. This DoubleTree brand runs more than one property along the Orlando corridor, and the names differ only by the district added at the end. Guests often shorten it to the brand alone, and that shorthand is exactly what forces a follow-up question before a booking can be confirmed. Send the full hotel name exactly as it appears on your reservation, with the street address written underneath, and we lock the correct destination the first time. That one detail keeps your ride pointed at the right front door on the right street, with no back-and-forth on the day you travel.
Your chauffeur arrives at the agreed Fort Lauderdale address, whether that is your hotel, a private home, or the cruise port, and loads every bag into the vehicle before you set off. One driver and one vehicle handle the whole run, so the trip is never shared and nobody switches cars along the way. The route follows the Florida’s Turnpike corridor and joins I-4 as Orlando draws near, ending at the hotel’s own entrance with the kids and the luggage still together.
Door to door and off-peak, the drive lands around three and a half hours, edging a little higher on busy holiday weekends or during afternoon rush around the metro areas. Because the rate is set per vehicle when you book, a slower day adds nothing to your total. The luggage is our job the whole way, loaded at pickup and unloaded at the door, with no rental counter, no parking deck, and no toll line to work through.
The fare is paid in full at booking. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
